Our Team

Tim’s interest in senior care began in 1973 at Wheaton College (IL) where his counselor recognized his desire to wed a sense of mission and purpose with his vocation and therefore pointed him in the general direction of healthcare administration. A Chicago-area hospital administrator then opened his eyes to the tremendous future leadership opportunities that were bound to exist in the long-term care segment of healthcare because of the rapid demographic growth in seniors in our country. It didn’t take Tim long to recognize that senior care was indeed an industry in its embryonic stages and that he could make a real difference in the lives of the most important person in many people’s lives—their Moms.

Forty three years later, that same sense of mission continues to motivate Tim’s desire to play a decisive role in refining the way seniors are cared for in our country. The mission of making a difference in the lives of Moms has indeed come home to roost in a very satisfying way—Tim’s mom is now a very satisfied resident in one of the HRA communities.

By attracting and building strong teams of others that share Tim’s dedication to serving seniors, he has enjoyed top leadership positions with some of our country’s premier providers of senior care (Manor Care, PersonaCare and Sunrise Senior Living). Tim has worked hard to intentionally shape HRA’s way of life by the inculcation of shared core values, realizing the potency a healthy corporate culture has on the long term success of a company.

Tim holds a Bachelor of Arts from Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois.

Tim and his wife, Bobbi, have been married 40 years and have two beautiful and accomplished daughters, Kim (35) and Amy (31). An active airplane pilot since 1994, Tim is also an enthusiastic fan of all kinds of music.
